And who was available, and might have been willing to come here in January that we might have gone for (apart from that bloke who came on as a sub for the West Ham squatters today, and the loan we wanted that the parent club wouldn't agree to)?
As I said on another similar thread he scored the goals from January to get them promoted. He could do the same for us and after gaining promotion sell him on for a couple of million less than we paid to do the same for another team. This is after pocketing the prize of Premier League and the £180m prize. If we offered the money we had put aside for Pritchard we could get him.
Sam provided assists, it's obvious that scoring wasn't the main thing he provided. Rhodes was all about scoring, and he didn't do a lot of that. BG is trying to argue that Rhodes scored the goals that got Middlesbrough promoted. He only scored 6 of their 26 goals since he joined, so no, he didn't.
I think he scored some pretty crucial ones though?
Nobody in particular then! Which was my question.............................Money is the language of negotiation and persuassion
Shame we didnt buy a striker for the 4 most important months in AMEX history.

But if they had someone else for 18 games, they would have scored some crucial ones.I think he scored some pretty crucial ones though?

No, you said "he scored the goals from January to get them promoted". No he didn't, he only scored 6 of the 26 goals that got them promoted. And you're suggesting he could do the same for us. Well that's ifs and buts.They may have done or may not Rhodes did no question of ifs and buts.
We signed a proven Championship goalscorer. He's started scoring goals.
Do I want another one? Yeah, go on then.
Well it is obvious GM who has said many times he wanted to join us in January but the deal couldnt be done.

Well Ramirez played the same number of games, and scored more goals. If they hadn't bought Rhodes, I imagine they'd have gone for someone else.Rhodes joined in January, the others didn't.. Who else in 'boro's free scoring squad of super strikers do you propose would have stepped up.....
I am not prepared to argue with you any more as you cannot see the wood from the trees.
